Gingrich Calls a Spade, a Spade. Can the rest of the GOP do it?

In our politically correct society, it’s so refreshing to have someone tell it like it is. There’s no more American Indians… they are Native Americans. No one is retarded… they have learning challenges. No one is Oriental any more… they are Asian. I guess being from the Orient is offensive, but being from Asia isn’t? Now we have Barack Obama and his band of anti-religious socialists who are attacking the very core of the American way of life. But can we call them socialists? Newt Gingrich can, but the rest of the GOP leadership gets weak in the knees using the s-word.

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had some choice words for what Obama and his left-wing cohorts are doing to this country. Gingrich blasted the Democrats by saying they are “trying to impose a ‘secular-socialist machine’ rejected by most Americans.

Gingrich is right, and the sooner Americans can hear the truth without some politically correct filter attached to it, the better. Let’s break it down:

We’ve seen example after example of bias against Christianity coming from Washington and other liberal governments. Manger scenes, prayers at meetings, crosses, or anything else that shows our connection to God has been systematically targeted. Gingrich calls it a “relentless anti-religious bias” and points out that “a federal judge has declared the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional, ‘which if it weren’t so serious it would be laughable.'”

As far as being socialist, Gingrich said:

“When you have a pay czar in the White House who thinks that they have enough power and knowledge to set the salaries for hundreds of people in dozens of companies, in an industry they’ve never been in — I mean, if that’s not socialist — if the government is the largest owner of General Motors and Chrysler, the largest funder of AIG — they just nationalized student loans so they’re now all 100 percent government program.”

Obama blasts business at every opportunity. I guess he forgets that businesses actually employ people! Actually, Obama hasn’t forgotten, he’d just prefer to move those people to government jobs. Then he and his ideology are in control.

Gingrich used the health care bill as an example of the Democrats being a machine, saying, “If you can get $757 billion out of the Congress and no elected official has even read the bill, that’s the behavior of a Chicago-style machine.” Actually, what’s more telling is not that they didn’t read the bill, it’s that the Democrats pulled out all the stops to pass this bill despite the fact that the majority of Americans were opposed to it. Not a single poll across the country showed that Americans wanted Congress to pass the health care bill, but it did anyway.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that the GOP leadership is doing nothing. Actually, they are starting to respond, and the solidarity they exhibited during the health care debate was much-needed. (Note… see what happens when your Congressional majorities get decimated for being stupid and out of touch?) Republicans in the U.S. House are even offering Americans “a chance to vote online on what they think should be slashed from the federal budget in a new anti-government spending program called YouCut.”

“What we’re saying here is we’re going to listen,” said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., the No. 2 Republican in the House, who launched the program. “Vote on your priority, and we’ll take it to an up-or-down vote on the floor.”

“Secondly, it is about trying the change the culture,” he told Fox News. “And right now, Speaker Pelosi and the majority in the House have no interest in reducing spending. And we all know that the American people who…are trying to make ends meet at the end of the month and they see Washington on a rampant spending spree. That’s what we’re trying to change and that’s what YouCut’s about.”

This is good stuff, but when Americans are fed up with the way the Democrats are handling the country, we don’t need to sugarcoat what they are doing. If they are taking over private business and industries, let’s say so. If they are proposing more programs that take power away from hardworking Americans and put it in the hands of government officials, let’s speak out! What they are doing is socialism in action, and the sooner the American people realize it, the sooner we can stop it.

Saint Obamao is Marxist, and that includes socialism and fascism. Our government is socialist as to our schools because it owns them. Our government is fascist as to many other businesses because the “owners” only have the illusion of ownership while government sets all the important policies and procedures.

Joseph T is correct. The Federal Reserve is not run by any elected officials but has supreme control over all of our lives. Get the Socialist (Democrats) out of control and return this nation to the greatness that was begun by our founding fathers. More individual freedon and FAR LESS government control.

It is unfortunate that the Republicans who seem to be getting all the attention are those who do not have enough cajones to cast off their political correctness and other phony attributes just to stay in power. In this sense they are no better than the Democrats. We know Democrats lie at every turn – just listen to Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Schummer, Clinton and others. Republicans ought to differentiate themselves from the run of the mill, corrupt and lying politicians and begin to speak frankly and forcefully instead of playing games and pretending.

I believe the word socialism is to weak as well.
The current progressives in the Obama administration have often referred to themselves as admirers of Marxism and in the case of Van Jones
communists, Bill Ayers – communist. Anita Dunn Maoist lover!
I use the term Marxist all the time now. That is a true “Spade for Spade”.

These comments are good. Our nation is in dire need of new leadership. I’m in support of getting all incumbents out after a specified amount of time. The 6-year term of Senators is an appropiate lenghth of time for all of Congress, with Representatives having to satisfy their consituents 2 times after their initial election. Take action, Americans!

The solution is to weed out all the “progressives” that are RINOs in the Republican party. If they aren’t conservatives, they should be GONE. We must stop holding our nose to vote for the better bad choice.

“This is good stuff, but when Americans are fed up with the way the Democrats are handling the country, we don’t need to sugarcoat what they are doing.”
Sadly this statement shows the problem because it is not just the Democrats that have screwed us the past 6 decades.
The two parties really only care about one thing: Staying in power as the TWO ruling parties.
We the PEOPLE need to quit sugarcoating what the politicians are doing to us and our Nation.
Sorry, I used to be a big Newt fan, even have an autographed fiction work, but Newt lost all respect when he supported the RINO, Dede Scozzafava, in the 23rd race. He and the rest of the politicians are the problem, not the solution. Somehow we need to make politics a part time job again. The people who are the leaders need to be business owners and/or employees that are also subjected to the laws and rules they pass.
I grant you we have a problem right now with this administration but it is NOT the only problem We the PEOPLE have.

It angers me when I watch the Democrats in Congress exhibit no stones in standing up against a man who is just itching to be a dictator. I know they don’t agree with what “NOBAMA” is doing to this country. The borders must be closed and the current administration must be ousted while we have enough conservative Americans to do it. The day of sitting home on election day is over. If you do you probably will not like what continues to happen to our country. We are watching Communism take over our country without firing a shot. I seem to remember they made that claim years ago and we all laughed.

Okay, Bobby, I’ll follow your lead:
Americans ARE fed up with the way the Democrats are handling the country,
I WON’T sugarcoat what they are doing.
They ARE taking over private business and industries, and I AM saying so, vehemently!
They ARE proposing more programs that take power away from hardworking Americans and THEY ARE putting it in the hands of government officials.
I’M TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOUR INVITATION to speak out! … even if I am using your own words …
WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS SOCIALISM!!! (I have a Ph.D. in Social Science, and I oughta know! I’ve told my students repeatedly that socialism has never worked anywhere in the world and it won’t work here … hmmm … wonder if that has anything to do with the fact I’ve not been invited to teach any more classes?????? Whaddayouthink??)

I agree with all of the comments but I wish people would stop saying Americans need to wake up. Americans are awake and are standing up, speaking out and will continue to do so forever if needed. Those Americans who do not care or who have swallowed the kool aid…well good luck trying to reach them. No matter what happens or what the evidence they won’t believe any of this is happening or is real. It isn’t just our government and our politicians though it is a global crisis. I remember when I use to speak of Global governance and New World Order. People laughed or scoffed and said I was a conspiracy theorist. How do you guys like me now?

Newt Gingrich is a member of Council on Foreign Relations, the group of power elites who have caused all of our troubles to begin with. We need to get them out of our Government , not invite them back in.
Karoden, I agree with you, I wondered why we have no watch dog group or some sort of police group to oversee what goes on in Government,they are just running wild with no one to stop them.

Yes, every sitting Republican needs to take the lead of Newt Gingrich and start calling a spade a spade. We have nothing but incumbent wimps up on The Hill. I hope the current Republican candidates for national office will wise up and start calling a spade a spade in their campaign speeches. Obama and his henchmen are Marxist-socialists…period! Now, let’s move on from there.

Newt Gingrich “speaks a good game.” He knows what people want to hear but I pay no attention to members of Council on Foreign Relations as they are working for one world government. It’s amazing how many of our representatives are members of this group, and it is full of media folks!

My fear is that so many folks seem to be OK with socialism. I believe they are sadly ignorant! They are the ones to which we have to continue to preach history. Hopefully they will “get it” before it’s too late.

Newt Gingrich is right. We have skirted around the facts long enough. When someone lies to the people, call it a lie, not that they are being somewhat incorrect in their representation of the facts! If Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are trying to change what the majority does not want changed, we must act. They are playing hardball, and to get in the game, we must play hardball, too. This is serious. Socialism has never worked over the long haul, and it will not now.

Also, stop calling our republic a “democracy.”
In “wonderful” democracies, individuals have the right to vote and no others. Once the best organized mob in a de-mob-ocracy wins, everyone has to march in lockstep with whatever they dictate.

Hi
I can not but agree with Joseph Tronoski. That It is high time that we do a complete Audit of the Federal Reserve Bank. They always say that it would seriously threaten monetary policy independence. This is just the standard response to not open its secrecy corrupt Culture which masks its illicit financial transactions operations with corrupted foreign banks through the Fed Reserve Inter Bank Settlement Fund, and secret deals with the United States Treasury. Demand that our Senators vote for a full Audit of the corrupted Private Bank That we know as the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank. Thanks

It just never seems to end, does it? Now Obama is pushing this “New Start” program within the educational system of the country where he is rewarding school districts (giving them our taxpayer money) based on his perception of an educational standard. This now gives him more control of our educational process and a new opportunity to push his agenda through the “brainwashing” of our children in our schools.
I hate to say this about our President, but, he is dangerous to our American way of life and he has no shame in the blatant way he is going about “transforming our country” and sticking it in our faces in the process.
Have you heard about the new federal stamp he is pushing to celebrate the Muslims in this country? So, if you want recognition in this administration, just go out there and destroy our country. Why would he do this? Where is his restraint and compassion for Americans that have lost their lives in 911, Iraq, and now Afganistan?
It just goes on and on, and something has to be done about it starting in the November elections.
It is no wonder that many of us older Americans are being pushed into different levels of depression when we see our life savings being drastically diminished, we see our healthcare being jeopardized, our social security being taxed, and the cost of everything going up through both obvious tax increases as well as more covert ways of taking money from us.
For the first time in my life, I am actually worried about being able to sustain myself and my wife through our retirement years, and this is after working our butts off for 40 years and paying horrendous amounts of taxes all of those years.
Where are the true advocates for those of us that have been solid Americans for all of these years?
Where are the patriots of this country?
They definitely are not in this administration.

Gingrich is doing the same thing McCain is doing. Both of these RINO chemeleons have changed into outspoken Conservatives.
Both Gingrich (supported Scozzafava) and McCain (supported amnesty) are part of the problem, not the solution.
RINOs always re-invent themselves at election time. After getting elected, they change back to the same old self serving spineless trators that they are, voting liberal when it suits them.
The Republican party must rid themselves of these RINOs. Then the Conservative efforts to rid ourselves of that Faker in the White House and his Washington gang can move forward, at a much faster pace.

Over the past 30 years or so, there has been a difference between Republicans and Democrats. That difference was that Republicans did not tolerate immoral people in leadership. This was clearly demonstrated during the Monica Lewinsky scandal when Newt lost his job and Clinton kept his. The fact that Newt is back, proves that the gap between the two parties is closing. Socialist and socialist-lite.

Too many American’s have their heads stuck in the sand; they are not sheep, they are of the ostrich family. These people, their attitudes, their way of thinking mirror the American’s of the 1930’s. They are stuck in their own ideal of a perfect life and much like those from the 30’s who refused to acknowledge the horrors carried out by Hitler, they refuse to acknowledge not only the similarity, but the possibility of a similarity. We must first yank those respective heads out of the sand and get their attention before we are able to affect change in D.C. It is imperative that honest to God American’s prevail in their collective effort to take the country back to it’s origins; rid the country of shallow minded politicans whose only goal is to eliminate the USA by instituting the NAU, a.k.a. North American Union; the spin-off of the European Union. We can all see how well that’s working! A unified and/or collective world order may be the future, but that future is a very long way off. In the meantime, it is the responsibility of American’s to ensure the original continuance of a strong, unified, productive, and free America.
